The Summer Book

Autor Tove Jansson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mai 2003
An elderly artist and her six-year-old grand-daughter while away a summer together on a tiny island in the gulf of Finland. As the two learn to adjust to each other's fears, whims and yearnings, a fierce yet understated love emerges - one that encompasses not only the summer inhabitants but the very island itself.Written in a clear, unsentimental style, full of brusque humour, and wisdom, The Summer Book is a profoundly life-affirming story.Tove Janssoncaptured much of her own life and spirit in the book, which was her favourite of her adult novels. This new edition, with a Foreword by Esther Freud, sees the return of a European literary gem - fresh, authentic and deeply humane.

Recenzii

Eccentric, funny, wise, full of joys and small adventures. This is a book for life.
It is like looking through clear water and seeing, suddenly, the depth ... Jansson was a writer who knew the proper magnitudes of our small worlds.
The Summer Book's limpid style belies a deep psychological subtlety...Rereading it now, it feels like a survival guide.
Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvellous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny.
This is a wonderful, life-affirming, spirited book. Reading it was a tonic.
It's hard to describe the astonishing achievement of Jansson's artistry . . . a perfection of the small, quiet read.
The Summer Book is a marvellously uplifting read, full of gentle humour and wisdom.
A marvellous book.... The prose is sublime: plain, but not oppressively so.
Few books since Robinson Crusoe have evoked the joys of island living so powerfully as this Finnish novella.
A wonderful novel to devour in the sunshine . . . full of charm and character.
An odd but beautiful novel which blends humour and poetry with detailed observation of tiny things.
Every so often, a book is published that captures something in us. . . . The Summer Book is one of those.
